Automatically deploy network-wide patch and service pack management

With GFI LANguard PatchManager you can easily deploy missing service packs and patches network-wide. GFI LANguard PatchManager is the ideal tool to monitor that Microsoft WSUS is doing its job properly and it performs tasks WSUS does not such as deploying Microsoft Office and custom software patches. GFI PatchManager also provides you with new features such as patch auto-download and patch rollback. View screenshot.

Deploys custom/third party software and patches network-wide

Besides deploying patches and service packs, GFI LANguard PatchManager enables you to easily deploy third party software or patches network-wide. You can use this feature to deploy client software, update custom or non-Microsoft software, virus updates and more. The custom software deployment feature means you can do without Microsoft SMS, which is too complex and expensive for small to medium sized networks. View screenshot.
